Pass the Pigs: a game for bacon lovers

A commenter brought a game to my attention that sounds like a perfect match for bacon lovers. Itâ€™s called â€œPass the Pigsâ€. The object of the game is to be the first player to score 100 points by rolling little pigs as dice. You score points depending on how the pigs land and you can keep rolling until you roll a losing combination. You can also stop your turn at anytime if you donâ€™t want to press your luck.

Scoring with one pig:Lazy Pig – The pig is lying on its side – 0 PointsRazorback – The pig is lying on its back – 5 PointsTrotter – The pig is standing on all fours – 5 PointsSnouter – The pig is leaning on its pig noise – 10 PointsLeaning Jowler – The pig is resting on its snout, ear and one foot – 15 Points
